I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a technique that reduces or eliminates past trauma.
I specialize in sex addiction, spousal betrayal trauma, sexual issues, couples and family therapy, all forms of trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Often these issues are connected to a sense of emotional safety, as well as past or current traumas. This is challenging to navigate without help. Recovering yourself and your relationships is no easy task. I love helping clients to find healing and balance, nurture and deepen meaningful relationships with themselves and others, and discover and pursue their passions.

Stress, self-doubt, and worry can be difficult enough to manage on our own when things are "normal," but when you add the impact of the recent events our society is dealing with they can seem overwhelming. Whether a teenager or an adult, stress and trauma can make us question who we are and what's important to us. Negative emotions and thoughts get in the way of our relationships with other people and make us feel like we aren't able to be the person we want to be. Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help you make changes which bring more control and confidence in to your life.

Viewing things with a trauma informed and attachment lens to look at relationships I find is paramount in supporting healing; we are wounded in relationships and heal in them.
To heal it is important to be heard, understood, and seen. We go through different life events and can experience suffering along the way that impairs daily living. My goal is getting to the root of the present challenge to support lasting change so people can experience the well-being they deserve as a human right! I take an integrative, compassionate, and accepting approach meeting people where they are at focusing with experiential, emotion focused, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and person centered approaches to help people heal. I collaborate with clients to create meaning and draw out authentic living.

I value a space where my clients can come to unpack and unmask so they can find their true selves, dissect layers of complex trauma, and make their own informed decisions about how to live in their life with meaning.
I believe that we could heal the world if we would only first seek to heal ourselves. Some of the most life changing moments come when we decide to sit with our discomfort and ride that wave to healing. Though the pain and anguish can make these moments feel unconquerable, taking the steps toward your own healing allows these obstacles to become a period of transformation, growth, or liberation. Together we can explore your journey and the answers that you hold within.

Sometimes, life is unpredictable. Before we know it, we can end up in a hole that appears too big to climb out of. This is particularly the case with our traumatic experiences. Whether it is big or little, traumatic experiences carry with us throughout our lives, creating lasting impressions on who we are and what we are capable of. Luckily, we have developed ways to overcome and climb out of the hole.

I have worked with court- and board-ordered clients, becoming specialized in addiction, men’s and women’s trauma, developmental trauma, intimate partner violence, grief/loss, and attachment/intimacy disorders.
I believe the story you tell yourself about yourself and your relationships is far more meaningful and descriptive than a diagnosis or other label that may have been placed on you. My goal is to assist you in gaining clarity about that story, who you are and where you are in life – your aspirations, talents, skills, obligations, and needs – so you can move confidently into the future, staying connected to those you love and the things that bring you joy. You do not have to be a victim of fear, insecurity, or disappointment – harness your natural abilities, virtues, and powers to be the hero of your life.

As a therapist, I seek to build relationships with clients from an attachment- and trauma-informed approach from which we can explore how self-perceptions, relational experiences, and early attachment experiences intersect to affect current difficulties in life.
I approach therapy with a nonjudgmental perspective and a curiosity to understand the unique experiences leading clients to therapy. I believe a strong, genuine connection and collaboration between therapist and client can not only be an opportunity to improve coping skills and process through trauma and other difficulties, but also a catalyst to improving access to experiences of joy and contentment in life. I support clients with their therapy goals whether returning or starting for the first time. Therapy is often a brave journey of exploring the parts of ourselves that we might avoid… feeling scared, sad, angry, confused.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists

When should I seek treatment for trauma?

Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?

Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?

Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?

It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
